Troop 48,

As we have all agreed previously, the safety of our people remains a key factor in guiding our decisions regarding Troop 48.  In discussions this morning more concern was raised regarding the Court of Honor coming next Tuesday.  With so much publicity and calls to be responsible and reconsider any larger meetings, it seems prudent to delay the Court of Honor.   We know this will disappoint some families but when faced with possibilities of passing sickness or worse, we believe it is wise to wait for safer times.   

We share everyone’s sadness with this decision please note we are working diligently to develop plans and hopefully will have things in order to share When our News Letter goes out.

 Yours in scouting 

Jim Hawley, Jim Fisher and Julieann White
